"With Christmas coming up next month, things don't look very merry for our family. I don't think there'll be enough money for gifts under the tree. In fact, I don't think we will even have a tree this year, the way things are looking now."

A child continues to worry about her mother, who doesn't seem to be doing any better with her depression since losing her job as an attorney.

I wish I could do something to help mommers.

Mommers continues to spend her days in bed, with the covers pulled up over her head, not wanting to see anybody or do anything.  It's really making us worried.

Daddy keeps taking her back and forth to the doctor's, to see if he can do anything, but mommers absolutely refuses to take the medicines he's given her.  (She claims they give her bad side effects; she doesn't like how they make her feel.)  So it really doesn't do her any good!

Meanwhile, daddy and I have to help run the ship when mommers is in bed.  We have to be quiet, and we also have to do our level-headed best not to fight or upset mommers.  Living like this is hard, especially since I have school; I don't get to bed until midnight some nights because I have so much to do, on top of my homework assignments.  Some days I am dragging by the time school ends; it's all I can do to keep from crawling into my bed and sleeping for a million years!

With Christmas coming up next month, things don't look very merry for our family.  I don't think there'll be enough money for gifts under the tree.  In fact, I don't think we will even have a tree this year, the way things are looking now.

It's going to take a miracle to have a good Christmas this year!

Please continue to keep my mommers (as well as my family) in your prayers; we really could use some God-help about now!  Thanks in advance!

Prayers will help but mommers needs professional treatment it would seem. Patrick

This is a realistic way a person with depression might act.I am glad you are bringing it up in a story.I am hoping she will get the help she needs. Depression can be treated successfuly and there are support groups. Thanks Karen!

With Love,
Cindy

I"ve had Christmases similar to this but we celebrated the meaning of Christmas and my mother would tell us stories of the baby Jesus. Somehow things all worked out and we were warm and fed and had home made toys. They rarely broke.
Thanks and chin up....Christmas is a few days ahead still.
Love,
Susan

Sad update, Karen.

This coming Christmas will be one to be remembered like the ones in the 30's after the Wall Street crash. This one will be worst, because they have teach us about all the thing we wish and can't have...

Hope something works for this childs mother soon. As one that suffers from depressive anxiety disorder (yes me) I can relate to the hopelessness that Mommers feels. Hugs, Kathy

Oh Karen this is so sad, yet I know all too well that this is real!
The good news is that, there is no distance in prayer! Prayer changes things, I will pray even more for Mommer's! and for other families too! Thanks for sharing and caring Karen. May the Lord bless and meet you at the point of your need today!

Much Love,
Always!!

So very sad, and something far too many families are now facing this Holiday Season in our truly abysmal economy.
